Research into women in the work place, 1940's.

These are images I found from a website (see below) taken from a book made for industrial bosses on how to introduce women to the workplace during the Second World War.




This document gave me an insight into the role of women and the treating of women within the workplace at this time as women were recruited to do the roles of the men whilst they were at war, as well as making machinery and weapons. On top of this many women were homemakers or carrying children. This put massive strain on the family and on women as they had to become the main breadwinner in the family. In my music video I wish to display the themes of the pressure of working class women and women workers in my music video, although this will be subtle because my main focus is on the 1940's celebrity lifestyle.
